My question is : Is it possible to create a working IIS 6.0 Virtual Directory with providing Physical Path of the Virtual Directory.?

I know that manually, it is not possible via IIS but programmatically such a virtual directory can be created. If an HTTPRedirect is set on that virtual directory but the site physical path is not specified, then will it work?

Simply stated, how to create an HTTp-redirected Virtual Directory , directly without specifying any physical path to a folder or network share.

Here is my code.

Try
    If Directory.Exists(HomeDirectory) = False And Path.StartsWith("http://") = False Then
        Directory.CreateDirectory(HomeDirectory)
    End If
    Dim website As DirectoryEntry
    website = New DirectoryEntry("IIS://" & IISServer & "/W3SVC/" & WebsiteId & "/Root")
    Dim NewVDir As DirectoryEntry = website.Children.Add(VDirName, "IIsWebVirtualDir")
    If Path.StartsWith("http://") = False Then
        NewVDir.Properties("Path")(0) = Path
        NewVDir.Properties("HttpRedirect").Clear()
    Else
        NewVDir.Properties("HttpRedirect")(0) = Path
    End If
    If ((Perm And Permission.Read) = Permission.Read) Then
        NewVDir.Properties("AccessRead")(0) = True
    End If
    If ((Perm And Permission.Write) = Permission.Write) Then
        NewVDir.Properties("AccessWrite")(0) = True
    End If
    If ((Perm And Permission.DirBrowse) = Permission.DirBrowse) Then
        NewVDir.Properties("EnableDirBrowsing")(0) = True
    End If
    If ((Perm And Permission.CreatetApplication) = Permission.CreatetApplication) Then
        NewVDir.Invoke("AppCreate", True)
    End If
    If ((Perm And Permission.ScriptOnly) = Permission.ScriptOnly) Then
        NewVDir.Properties("AccessScript")(0) = True
    End If
    If ((Perm And Permission.ScriptNExecute) = Permission.ScriptNExecute) Then
        NewVDir.Properties("AccessExecute")(0) = True
    End If

    NewVDir.Properties("AuthAnonymous")(0) = True
    NewVDir.Properties("AuthNTLM")(0) = True

    NewVDir.Properties("AnonymousUserName")(0) = AnonUserName
    NewVDir.Properties("AnonymousUserPass")(0) = AnonPassword
    NewVDir.Properties("AppFriendlyName")(0) = AppFriendlyName

    NewVDir.CommitChanges()
    website.CommitChanges()
    NewVDir.Close()
    website.Close()
    Success = True
Catch Err As Exception

    Throw New Exception("My Custom Exception Here: " & Err.Message)
End Try
